Chapter 104 Chapter 3(1/2)
Everyone has a problem that they will pursue throughout their lives.
For example, when will I become a millionaire, when will I marry a beautiful wife, or when will I be able to have a family of children and grandchildren?
Only when there are problems can people have the direction and motivation to strive.
But the monk left his life and just wanted to understand one problem:
"who I am?"
This question is so philosophical that later on, we all got old, but the monk sat on chess against me and asked me this question, I was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed at him: "You have been helping with food all the time, why are you still so second-class?"
But it was not until the monk passed away that I realized that this question means a lot to him.
Buddhism emphasizes the causes of previous lives and the results of this life.
Later I visited Monk Que’s master, Master Juexin from Putuo Temple. He told me that Monk Que was a monk who practiced for ten generations, and was different from ordinary people.
Others realize that this life is the present life, but they practice the next life.
1,400 years ago, he was Monk Bianji, a disciple of Master Xuanzang. He was beheaded because of his affair with Princess Gaoyang.
1300 years ago, Kōkai, one of the eight ancestors of the Tang Dynasty, was one of the eight ancestors of the Japanese Buddhist Buddhism. He came to the Tang Dynasty from Japan to seek the Dharma here. During the reign of Emperor Yanzong of Tang Dynasty, when the Dharma was in trouble, Kōkai sighed before his death, and I was in trouble with Buddha.
900 years ago, he was the Yueming Monk who saved Liu Cui.
400 years ago he was the sixth generation full of romantic feelings, Tsangyang Gyatso......
Leque monk has been different from others since he was born. Other children can speak at the age of one and learn to walk at the age of two.
Leju was able to run or jump one month after he was born, and he could reason with adults, and he was speechless.
Others think that this child is a monster, so they don’t let their children play with the monk.
When the monk was eight years old, his family suffered an earthquake. Master Juexin picked up the child from the ruins.
The monk slept for half a month after being picked up, and even the doctor said that the child was probably in trouble.
Unexpectedly, after half a month, the monk woke up by himself. When he woke up, he asked Master Juexin the first sentence: "I used to be Bianji, Kōkai, Moonlight, Wind Demon, Tsangyang Gyatso, and Jade
Lin, who am I now?"
Juexin said: "If you don't know who you are, how can I know? Why don't I give you a Dharma name, and be a monk here from now on."
The monk agreed.
He became a monk in Putuo Temple, but he was different from other monks.
He also eats meat and drinks alcohol.
He joked with his senior brother, cheated pocket money from his junior brother, and asked about the little girl from his senior brother.
Leku monk likes to show up in public. Even because this monk is too handsome, there are always young girls who come to Putuo Temple to watch incense sticks in order to see his "scented face".
Master Juexin thought that he would just treat Monk as a fee, so why not do it?
Later, some of the senior brothers and sisters in Putuo Temple returned to secular life, some went down the mountain, and some passed away due to illness.
Only a few young disciples were left on the mountain, as well as the elderly Master Juexin and Monk Leque.
Whenever Master Juexin preaches, the monk Le Ke always interrupts and asks him inappropriately: "Master, I still don't know who I am today.
Master, I dreamed of that female donor again last night.”
When a monk dreams, he always dreams of something. Sometimes he sees through it, and sometimes he is a moment of spring night.
As he grew bigger, the image of a female donor appeared in his dreams more and more frequently.
Every time I was asked this question, Master Juexin always smashed his bald head with scriptures: "I have never touched a woman in my life. If you show off, I will scan the Sutra Library for me."
So the monk really went to clean the Sutra Library.
In the Sutra Library, he accidentally saw a painting.
It was a snow-capped mountain, and there was a woman on it.
The woman's back looked very similar to the female donor she saw in the monk's dream.
Then he showed the painting to Master Juexin.
Master Juexin sighed: "I didn't expect you to find me after hiding for so many years."
After hearing this, the monk Leque smiled: "Oh, Master, you are disrespectful to me. I don't even show you the pictures of beautiful women."
Master Juexin was so angry that his beard flew away: "Let go - put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. Since you have found it, then the master will not stop you. Go down the mountain to find someone named Chen Siyu, you have to help him
, helping him is helping yourself.”
.........
The monk Leke stared at the people in the ice, and even forgot to put his hands together.
Erpang smiled at him: "Look, look, look. I just said that this monk has not yet lost his heart and can't walk when he sees the beauty."
I looked at the monk's back for a moment and felt a little lonely.
But as Erpang said, the woman frozen in the ice layer was indeed a stunning beauty.
Her face was pale, her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. However, in the ice, she kept reaching out her hand, as if she was grabbing something during her lifetime.
Judging from the clothes, this woman should be a Tibetan, but she looks 80% similar to those of the Central Plains.
"Long Que, do you know this woman?" I asked him.
The monk turned his back to us and replied softly, "Old Friend." Then he took a deep breath, pulled his lunge, and smashed the ice statue with one punch.
The frozen woman's body was broken into pieces.
The monk blew his breath again, spewing out flames, and burned the broken ice field.
The flames were beating in his eyes, but I didn't see any sadness on his face, but instead felt relieved at that moment.
"I said bald, what's the relationship between you and that woman? Tell me, tell me." Erpang pestered her on the way, but the monk refused to give in.
I pulled him to my side: "Why are you talking so much?"
But the monk didn't seem sad or angry. At least from his face, I only saw that smile as always.
We walked a long way.
The road has been quiet.
Originally, Erpang had some complaints, but after I glared a few times, I muttered and quieted down.
Finally, we entered the snow realm again.
White snow is rising under the sky.
Looking at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, the monk Le Que said: "That female donor is the evil fate of my ten generations of practice."
"So beautiful, why is it wrong? There is such a beautiful woman, you are not practicing. If it were me, I would have married her on the spot."
"Shut up, are you talking so much? I punched Erpang.
He shut up in grievance.
"She was Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty in her previous life and was a lover to me in her previous life. Not only that, she has been following me for several lifetimes to renew her previous relationship.
But in the last life, I refused to get entangled with her anymore, so I designed to freeze it here."
"Awesome, you even know about other people's past lives?"
Monk Leque smiled: "We Buddhism emphasize the cause and effect. I have practiced in Buddhism since I was a child. Unlike others, I am a monk who practiced for ten generations. I have had wisdom since I was a child. When I was fifteen, I suddenly realized the six supernatural powers of Buddhism.
.
I have the ability to see the appearance of sentient beings.
I have the ability to hear universal sounds.
I have his own understanding and can read other people's thoughts.
I have the ability to understand the cause of fate.
I have the power of the divine realm and travel millions of miles a day.
I have the power to escape from life and death.”
"So it's not actually my grandfather who asked you to come to me, right?"
The monk Leke laughed loudly and said, "What is the difference between yes and no? I have come to look for you, and we are brothers."
Today, my monk has a relationship with you, and Mr. Chen gave me a practice.
I send Mr. Chen to accompany him for a lifetime, which is very fair.
open!"
He shouted loudly.
Suddenly the clouds and mists disappeared in front of me.
The snow has stopped.
